Giorgis and Frager are the two of best coaches in the MAAC, imo.

Giorgis is one of the best coaches in the country. Guy is amazing.

John Altavilla tweeted that if Fairfield wins their tourney, UConn could get sent out to Norfolk b/c Fairfield would be the "hosts" in Bridgeport.

The link he provided wouldn't open so I'm really not understanding why both teams can't go there.

If Fairfield is seeded #14 or #15, then a #1 seed like UConn can't be placed there.

But the committee has the flexibility to move teams up to 2 seed lines, which is what I'd anticipate they'd do with Fairfield, moving them to a #16.

I think that a more compelling story is what happens if St John's beats UConn again - the Johnnies would surely like to play in Bridgeport.
